Dear
Parents,
Tomorrow we will not have gym
class. We are participating along with Mrs. Lyman’s first grade class
in a distant learning opportunity. We will have a live interactive
program titled Christmas Tree Ship by the Milwaukee Public Museum from
8:30-9:30 a.m. We will listen to Jeanette Winter’s book, The
Christmas Tree Ship and make an ornament.
At 10:00 a.m. we will leave for
Rockin’ R Stable in Bear Lake along with all K-3 students and should
return around 2:00 p.m. We will have a 30-minute sleigh ride, build
snowmen and sled. Students need to bring a sack lunch. We have no
access to a microwave so it needs to be a cold lunch. If needed you may
purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria for $2.25. Parents and
siblings are welcome, but you must provide your own transportation.
Currently Mrs. Acton, Mr. Gutowski, and Mr. Torrey are our chaperones.
All students will ride the bus to and from the stable.
After
Christmas break, we will begin our spelling program. Currently we’ve
been using inventive spelling so it would not stifle students writing,
but now it is time to introduce spelling into our daily work. Students
are expected to spell our word wall words correctly. The assessment
will take three days. My goal is to begin spelling tests on the week of
January 19th. I’ll keep you posted on our progress.
Have a
safe and happy holiday. I’ll see you on Monday, January 5, 2009.
